Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition (OBI EE) provides a BI platform that includes many components enabling customers to address their BI requirements for operational, tactical, and strategic reporting. Reporting needs can be met by combining direct access to data in the Oracle E-Business Suite transaction database and data that has been moved to a data warehouse. Through these two approaches (direct access + data warehouse) customers can achieve all of their BI objectives with OBI EE.

OBI EE is a separate offering from Oracle's BI Applications. The BI Applications are built on top of OBI EE (and require a technology platform for their operation). They provide a specific implementation, with specific benefits and limitations, of a data-warehouse- centric business intelligence solution built on top of Oracle's BI platform.

Noetix provides software that enables immediate access to data within Oracle E-Business Suite. Noetix accelerates the deployment of an enterprise-wide BI initiative by pre-populating OBI EE with essential business intelligence content for use in query, reporting, and analysis. For nearly a decade, Noetix has provided automatic generation of a business intelligence model for Oracle Discoverer. Noetix also provides similar capabilities for other major BI platforms and now delivers that same power to OBI EE.
